Baseball. Baseball. And then a bit more baseball.Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:18:38 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: spudchukarhttp://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/07/carlos-zambrano-apologizes-to-carlos-marmol-but-no-one-else-stands-by-his-words/comment-page-1/#comment-146835
Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:38:37 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146835Ditto. Marmol is a lot like Zambrano, only more talented. He has saved his bacon more than once. The Cubs are embarassing, it’s just that they have been that way for some time. And occasionally Zambrano has caused some of the blushing.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:50:28 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146787Yeah, Jonny, I understand your point. I guess it is just preference.

The only thing about watching the game with the volume turned down and listening to 1210 is that they are out of sync. Drive me nuts.

If you can get to a radio or stream online (don’t know if you can workwise or if you are off), Charlie Manuel live at Ponzio’s today from 12:00 to 1:00 today on 610WIP.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 14:46:01 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146784That’s funny, because Wheels gets on my nerves for the very same reason you state. I’m annoyed by his analysis, not because it’s over my head, but because he’s often wrong and instead of saying it, tries to explain away why what he said was still right. Even though it wasn’t. Last night for example, I had to switch off when he started saying how Lilly had no interest in swinging and he doesn’t even try to hit, blah, blah, blah.. So Lilly had to have heard him and nailed a liner that luckily landed just foul, and continued to make Lee pitch to get him out. It was then that I tried the ESPN broadcast for awhile, which was worse sad to say. 20 minutes later I was back to Wheels and McCarthy. In retrospect I guess they aren’t too bad, though 1210 WIP is playing often while I watch the game.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:45:38 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146728Yeah. I like Wheels too. Many people in Philly don’t like him though because they say he’s too analytical. I think because sometimes people feel he’s talking over their heads. But I like him because he knows the game of baseball as much as anyone. I like when he breaks down a given play.

It’s McCarthy and Sarge that I cannot stand. McCarthy calls the game like he’s on radio. And Sarge….there is too much for me to type to show my disdain for the man.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:40:03 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146725Hell, I would settle for him learning to keep what he calls a sinker down.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:38:20 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146723I actually like Wheels. Maybe it’s because I don’t close the Pharmacy until 8 and always miss the first 3-4 innings so I only get to listen to 3 innings of Wheels. Not a fan of McCarthy. Tough spot taking over for HK, though.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:34:21 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146720You didn’t hear about Kendrick? The Phillies Phanatic took him hostage, locked him in the basement of CBP, and won’t release him until he learns how to throw another pitch.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:32:01 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146717Morning, Doctor. Yeah, Lee looked like the Lee of old last night. Didn’t watch the game but listened to it on the radio. Every once and a while I need a break from the McCarthy/Wheel/Sarge TV fiasco and enjoy Franske/Andersen.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:21:24 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146711The Phillies brass said they weren’t sure if Kendrick was going to make that start. Hopefully not.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:17:28 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146705” Now, if the Cubs could just figure out how to break this losing streak.”

Well in two more days they get a shot against Kyle Kendrick in Philly. It’s a 4 game series in Philly. Good luck.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:15:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146704So, what is going on today ‘bicepts? Good to see Lee get back on track last night. Offense still struggling, but I’m starting to see some signs of positive things to come.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:10:01 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146701Lol! You’re probably right. Doesn’t even look like the same guy.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:56:54 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146695Craig, I love it. Yesterday, when he threw the team under the bus, you posted an angry picture of Zambrano. Now that he apologized, you post a happy Zambrano picture. I didn’t think a picture like this existed of him.

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:54:41 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=62248#comment-146691This seems right to me. The only thing about Z’s comments that were inappropriate to me was singling out Marmol, ripping on the team’s play in general seemed appropriate, accurate, and possibly necessary.

Everybody says they want fiery guys that care rather than emotionless JD Drew types. Well, sometimes those guys emotion get the best of them when there is a microphone around.
